With both France and Germany understanding Russia's need for security guarantees, who is left to fight any "NATO" war? Those visits with Putin shows their support for Europe first, not US.

Seems like Russia might have world gas prices up where they want them.

Is amazing how a country's sovereignty can be up for negotiations.europe is more interested on oil or gas rather than international law

Putin statement was a little bit scarry. "If nato attack We hint the nuclear".

His demands only ask NATO to leave the Russian border for a guarantee of Russia's security concern. If NATO leave, the problem solved..

Recent meeting was a disaster in terms of diplomatic practices, we all saw on TV, Dear President Putin does know how to react against its neighbor country, Ukraine. No clamoring, please.

optimistic that it'll happen or optimistic that it will de escalate?

"In my hand I have a piece of paper" Hitler called Chamberlain a fool. What does Putin think of Macron? I know what I think of him.

[andrzejbursztynowicz]

Macron is optimistic becouse Putin told him he "he will not attack France"

[Cherishthemoment]

Look at the mess in France, why would this guy think he could do anything to help this crises.

Foreign diplomacy experts! Why do they have to sit on a table that big and that far apart?

I wonder if Lester is going to do his job as a journalist during his interview with former Vice President Biden or if he’s just going to throw him softball questions.

Macron is hating the fact he’s not in the limelight in his election year and was taken as a fool by he’s displaying a rather common and sadly typical french reaction to war in Europe..
